Day 162: Too Many Parcels at Reception

At the office, team manager Ms. Choi (A) takes Taehyun (B), a new employee, aside for a quick word.

How to study this lesson 4 steps

Read the situation under the title. It says who is talking and how they know each other, which decides how politely they speak.
Read the dialogue line by line with its translation, until every line makes sense. Still learning Hangul? Tick Romanization to see how each line sounds, but read the Korean first.
Download the Anki deck below and review it every day. It has every line of today's dialogue. Review earlier decks too when Anki asks you to.
Spend at least 30 minutes listening to native Korean, for example from the Resources page. It doesn't matter if you don't understand it yet.

Dialogue

Audio recordings are on the way. For now, each lesson is the dialogue with its English translation.

A 태현 씨, 잠깐 이야기 좀 할 수 있어요?

Taehyeon ssi, jamkkan iyagi jom hal su isseoyo?

Taehyun, can I have a quick word?
B 네, 팀장님. 무슨 일이십니까?

Ne, timjangnim. Museun irisimnikka?

Of course, Ms. Choi. What is it?
A 아침에 안내 데스크에서 전화가 왔어요. 태현 씨 개인 택배가 또 세 개 왔다고요.

Achime annae deseukeueseo jeonhwaga wasseoyo. Taehyeon ssi gaein taekbaega tto se gae watdagoyo.

Reception called this morning. Three more personal parcels came for you.
B 아, 죄송합니다. 낮에 집에서 받을 사람이 없어서 회사 주소로 시켰습니다.

A, joesonghamnida. Naje jibeseo badeul sarami eopseoseo hoesa jusoro sikyeotseumnida.

Oh, I'm sorry. There's no one at home during the day to take them, so I had them sent to the office.
A 가끔은 괜찮아요. 근데 상자가 작아도 매일 오니까 안내 데스크에 계속 쌓여요.

Gakkeumeun gwaenchanayo. Geunde sangjaga jagado maeil onikka annae deseukeue gyesok ssayeoyo.

Now and then is fine. But even if the boxes are small, they come every day, so they keep piling up at reception.
B 제가 생각이 짧았습니다. 정말 죄송합니다.

Jega saenggagi jjalbatseumnida. Jeongmal joesonghamnida.

That was thoughtless of me. I'm really sorry.
A 괜찮아요. 입사한 지 얼마 안 됐으니까 모를 수 있죠.

Gwaenchanayo. Ipsahan ji eolma an dwaesseunikka moreul su itjyo.

It's okay. You've only just joined, so you couldn't have known.
B 그럼 앞으로 어떻게 하면 되겠습니까?

Geureom apeuro eotteoke hamyeon doegetseumnikka?

So what should I do from now on?
A 급한 물건만 아니면 앞으로는 집으로 받으면 좋겠어요.

Geupan mulgeonman animyeon apeuroneun jibeuro badeumyeon jokesseoyo.

Unless it's something urgent, I'd like you to have things sent home from now on.
B 알겠습니다. 아파트에 무인 택배함이 있는데, 그걸 한번 써 보겠습니다.

Algetseumnida. Apateue muin taekbaehami inneunde, geugeol hanbeon sseo bogetseumnida.

Understood. My apartment building has parcel lockers, so I'll try using those.
A 좋네요. 그리고 지금 와 있는 상자 세 개는 오늘 꼭 가져가요.

Jonneyo. Geurigo jigeum wa inneun sangja se gaeneun oneul kkok gajyeogayo.

Good. And make sure you take those three boxes home today.
B 네, 알겠습니다. 그런데 그중에 큰 상자는 사실 팀에 드리려고 산 커피 원두입니다.

Ne, algetseumnida. Geureonde geujunge keun sangjaneun sasil time deuriryeogo san keopi wonduimnida.

Yes, of course. But actually, the big box is coffee beans I bought for the team.
A 어머, 그래요? 그런 건 매일 와도 괜찮아요.

Eomeo, geuraeyo? Geureon geon maeil wado gwaenchanayo.

Oh, really? That sort of thing can come every day.
